this is actually pretty easy to do, you don't need a tilt shift lens. For anyone wanting to try this on a low budget, just shoot your video as normal with whatever size/format preference you wish, keeping in mind high-angles are the most convincing with the final effect. If you notice in this video, when the photographer uses the lower angle (the life car coming out of the lift base) the effect is sorta ruined by the HUGE heads near the lens in the bottom of the frame.
Then, once you've shot/edited your footage into the clips you want, apply a blur to the whole frame, with a gradient, leaving the center of the frame (horizontally) in focus.
Then, finally, if you add a little saturation (pump it up to seem all "happy bright") it'll look like it's been painted to emulate a scene, like a model is, instead of the true colors of an actual scale location.
First of all, MATT @ the top there: Yield signs are triangles - but the triangle is point DOWN in the US for yield. (See the following site for a demo, genius.)
Secondly, you can't see the placement from far away, especially in bad weather or at night. You need to be able to trust the color in that situation. So, for our colorblind friends, I think this is a great idea. And, if the rest of us can't figure out that the lights are still the same and it's only a slight change to help the colorblind - well, then you're just like all the other idiot drivers we have here in Florida. :)

That's it! Pretty easy.
